In 2015, the John P. McGovern Foundation made a historic commitment to UTHealth Houston, marking the largest contribution in the university’s history. This transformative gift enriches the academic environment, provides scholarships to support students, and fuels discovery and innovation. In honor of their generosity, the medical school was renamed John P. and Kathrine G. McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston.
